I was getting drastic slowdowns in frame rates when viewing a steam engine directly in the path of the smoke off the smokestack. That seems to be greatly improved with today's update. there was mention in the release note of an improvement related to particles - I guess this is one result of that?

I haven't thoroughly tested this, but it seems true at least with the one scenario I ran today.

Yes, probably a result of better particles. More importantly for steam engines, they shouldn't run out of water doubleheading...
